I imagine it will feel similar to after the WCC and the CC fourth round exits.

Lets see if second best is going to be good enough this season.

On the evidence so far, no longer holders of the WCC and out of the Challenge Cup at the first hurdle with home advantage, it doesn't fill me with confidence.

How arrogant.....

We dont have a God given right to win everything or indeed anything every year.

I hated it when Wigan cheated to do it and besides it would be very boring.

Who is advocating cheating to win anything?

Turnover is no indicator of profit though is it? With spending on things various who's to say there is captial available.

It may hurt Leicester Rhino to see Leeds inability to turn power into dominance, but it'd hurt even more to see anything like the "Welcome to Bass Headingley" days.

As Emma points out we're not doing so bad, and for my twopennorth, does anyone have any idea if our 1st team coach has even asked Darth for new players? Or is he happy with his squad as is?

Or would McLennan be a feckwitt not to see that Leeds need another forward and another centre?

Perhaps he has asked, and been knocked back. Who knows?

The very valid points raised, (and here I exclude Emmas dummy spit ) show that the average punter is mystified with the recruitment policy at Headingley.

Even the most dedicated consumer of Wilson's Pies can surely see that a right sided centre and possabley a forward would benefit the current squad.

A club of our stature should easily be able to attract and finance any player.......... and yet GH appears to be reluctant to put his hand in his pocket.

Maybe Caddick has told him monies are being reserved for rebuilding the stadium, .....maybe GH has a cunning plan..... it would just be nice to know.

Nobody here....

I'll amend the statement.

I quite like it if we arent outright favourites and there is an element of anticipation and doubt.

Go Bluey.

I hated it too but there again neither of us are (declared) Wigan fans.

Do you imagine the majority of St Helens fans are bored with their current dominance in the Challenge Cup?

Are you bored with Leeds winning the SL these last two seasons? Do you not want that success to continue?

Genuine questions.

It's all well and good advocating lets buy a centre but who? Gleeson no way I strongly suspect the reason warrington have let him go is because he (possibly) has a desruptive effect in the dresing room, so who else? getting someone from aus at the moment is problematic (see eastwood) and none of the others are up to the standard we already have! The same goes for forwards .
